Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 10

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 10:9
  
  what is first . . . what is second: In saying “what is first,” Paul refers to the sacrifices offered under the Mosaic Law covenant. In saying “what is second,” he refers to a key feature of Jehovah’s purpose—the ransom sacrifice. (Heb 10:10) By offering up that sacrifice, Jesus did away with all those animal sacrifices. (See study note on Col 2:14.) In doing so, he established that his own sacrifice was the only means of salvation.
